"For the main course, bet on the xixo, a combination of meats, perfect for lunch."

Amanda Xavier

"In the middle of so many options of leafy greens and salads, there it is, the mayonnaise. It's really hard to deny when the waiter asks: "Salada de maionese"? It is the perfect option to accompany the sirloin with cheese, the polenta or the picanha of the house."

Up Magazine

Starwood Preferred Guest

"Excellent dishes are served here à la carte: lomo com queijo (loin with cheese), picanha and xixo."

Thamara de Costa Pereira

"Barranco is another traditional address which serves excellent cuts à la carte."

Sexta a Domingo

"The place would not always be full if the quality of the meat served was below the excellent. The highlight is the Angus picanha."

O Melhor de Porto Alegre

"The restaurant which serves the best meats in the South has plenty of reasons to be proud."

Michael Sommers

"One of the best spots for traditional churrasco in Porto Alegre is Barranco."

Leigh Crandall

"I served myself a healthy portion of costela (ribs). I took a bite and savoured the salty goodness of the meat."
